With the EDLT deadline quickly approaching, we’re hearing a lot of questions from schools who want to comply with ELDT while also adapting their training due to the pandemic. These are the seven biggest questions we get about the upcoming ELDT requirements and On Ramp™, SambaSafety’s interactive training system for CDL schools.
Hiring and training drivers the old-fashioned way is expensive. Manually pulling MVRs and deciphering violation codes takes 20+ minutes per applicant, and onboarding new drivers is time-consuming and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be.
Are your drivers aware of the most hazardous areas in residential neighborhoods? Not everyone knows where to expect black ice or why you should never walk across a snowy front yard.
There’s an old saying that goes back to the 12th century, “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” It was true then and it’s true now. Just because you've put a driver in front of a computer and had them log into a training program doesn’t mean that he or she is now trained.
Winter weather brings a slew of challenges for drivers. As the temperature drops, incident expenses rise thanks to bad visibility, slippery sidewalks and lack of preparation. The good news is that the most common winter incidents are preventable.
CDL schools, here's a question for you: when was the last time you updated your training curriculum? If you're still relying on textbooks, it's time to modernize your approach.

Does it seem like there are more bad drivers on the roads as of late? If you’re nodding your head, it’s more than a gut feeling you’re having. In Q1 2021, the rate of fatal crashes increased 10% to 8,730 deaths compared to 2020. This is the highest number of fatal crashes in nearly a decade.
